The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Builders

🜂 Built Upon the Rock “Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine and does them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell — and great was its fall.” (Matthew 7 : 24-27 ESV) In that passage, “these words of mine” refer to the entire teaching Jesus has just delivered in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5 – 7).

The essence of those words The Beatitudes – blessing the poor in spirit, the meek, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers. Inner purity over ...

In many traditions, truth is not sharp and cold , but alive , growing , centered in the heart — and here, green emerges . In the Chakra System: Anahata (Heart Chakra) is green. It is the center of the self — where lower and upper energies meet. Truth here is not just what is factual — but what is felt, aligned, and integrated . It is truth that doesn’t wound — it heals. Not truth from the mind, but truth from the inner knowing of love . In Sufi Mysticism: Green is the color of paradise , and the robe of the awakened ones . It’s associated with the truth of God , not just divine love but also divine justice . Not the soft truth — but the eternal one . In Nature’s Language: Truth is not an abstract concept. It is what grows when all masks fall away. Green is the color of what survives winter, fire, and death . It is the color of what returns — like a deeper truth surfacing after a long silence. The Green Heart as Truth: If someone sends you a green heart — and the conte...
